Here's a before and after... I was going for a kinda "fresh" look. I didn't want her to look like I slapped her with a make up palette, and it kinda came out exactly as I wanted!
I used a basic liquid foundation and a little under eye concealer to get her skin evened out. She didn't need much, her skin was pretty normal, not oily or dry, a few freckles, and almost no blemishes... so I kinda lucked out. I set it with a translucent powder, and moved on to the eyes.
I started with her eyebrows and gently grazed them with light brown shadow so fill them in. Her eyebrows are already much darker than her hair, but I didn't want to go too dark.. so I added a light brown to set them.
Since I wanted to stay in a more fresh feel, I stuck to light shimmers for the eye make up. I covered the lid in a light shimmer gold mixed with a little light pink to give it a rosy undertone. I went into the crease with a slightly darker version of the lid color and then highlighted the brow bone with a soft white. I took me a while to blend it together so there weren't any harsh lines, but it worked.
I finished her eyes off with a dark brown mascara, and used a brownish purple shadow for liner to maker her blue eyes pop.
I added a litle contouring to the cheeks and sides of the forhead to balance her out, and then finished with the lip application.
For her lips I used a natural lip pencil to outline and used it to fill them in as well. Then I applied a clear gloss to set the pencil and give a brightness to her smile.
That's it for now... I'm sure I'll have more soon :o)
